What rivnuts have people used.

I've been looking at the ultra low profile (http://www.memfast.co.uk/shop/Vprod2.asp?cat=2252003405)

and the ones for thin sheet (http://www.memfast.co.uk/shop/Vprod2.asp?cat=2388002644) but the thing that is putting me off is they don't have splines.

They seem god value from memfast and postage is cheap.

Unless there is a better supplier.

I would advise a blob of glue on them as rivnuts in thin steel can and do work loose, once loose they are a cow to get out as you can imagine.
I used to use ali ones as they crush up better than steel when using a hand doodah but still added a blob of gluey stuff just to make sure they stayed put.

great advice from Fabby there, :cool:

I,ve used low profile ( do they make you go faster too? :D ) ali rivnuts & used the rivnut tool thats for sale on your linky ( I believe they are expensive) but are easy to use & give a good grip on the rivnut/chassis steel , just pleased I didn,t have to buy one........thanks for the loan of yours Spud :D

cheers
